With a car insurance policy from Tesco Bank, a policyholder receives a discount for not having any claims. A policyholder that is also a Clubcard customer receives a discount on his policy, explains Tesco Bank.

With comprehensive car insurance, a policyholder is not penalized if his vehicle is hit by an uninsured driver, reports Tesco. After filing a claim, a policyholder is eligible to receive a courtesy car while his vehicle is being repaired. Tesco covers the costs of a policyholder's broken or chipped windshield or windows as well as the cost of any paintwork damaged due to broken glass.

Tesco Bank car insurance policies also include motor legal protection. This protection pays the cost of legal expenses when a policyholder is seeking to claim compensation for personal injuries against the responsible party following a vehicle accident. In the event of an accident, policyholders can contact Tesco 24 hours a day, seven days a week on the company's accident helpline, notes the company.

With Tesco's box insurance policy for young drivers, a box is installed in the policyholder's car. This policy provides comprehensive coverage for the policyholder's vehicle and an annual discount if a policyholder does not make a claim, notes Tesco. Policyholders can receive bonus miles for applying safe driving practices.
